Chapter 339: The Fortress Activated
Soon after, a large number of cockroaches burst out of the fungus blanket and began to attack the frontal defense line of the Wandering Earth.
Despite its name, the creature is not a species of cockroach at all, and even its appearance is very different.
It is a Zerg creature that looks like a turtle on the outside, with a heavy carapace and a pair of high-density claws on its back. Its head is almost shrunk into a spiked carapace, revealing only its fierce fangs, making it clear that it is not to be trifled with.
Cockroaches are several times larger than jumping insects, and if jumping insects are the basic infantry units of the Zerg, then cockroaches are tanks in the swarm, and their heavy biological armor also indicates this identity.
The carapace on the cockroach is not only made of chitin, but a special biological carapace formed by absorbing rare earths and metals from the soil.
This carapace, even if broken, can be restored by absorbing material from the soil again, which means that cockroaches have an even more tricky ability – burrowing.
As soon as these cockroaches hatched, they immediately used their six burrowing claws to burrow into the ground, and dived until they were behind the frontal defense line of the Wandering Earth before breaking through the ground, cooperating with the frontal insect swarm, and attacking the defense line of the ground defense force again!
Ironhide was burning the swarm of insects around him with its blazing flames, when suddenly a cockroach emerged from the ground beside him and screamed and pounced on him.
Ironskin's first instinct was to turn the flamethrowers in both hands towards the cockroach, allowing the blazing flames to consume it completely.
Normally, ordinary creatures would turn into a mass of char in a matter of seconds at such high temperatures, but the cockroach with its heavy carapace burst out of the flames almost unscathed, spitting out a cloud of strong, acidic saliva into the tin sheet.
"What the hell is this?"
Ironhide had no idea that there was a creature that could withstand such a fierce flame, and he was caught off guard by the cockroach's acidic saliva on his arm.
I saw that this highly corrosive green saliva dissolved the iron metal armor almost instantly, corroding his mechanical arm to a skeleton in the blink of an eye.
The severe pain made it almost impossible for Iron Hide to hold the weapon in his hand, but his flamethrower did have little effect on the cockroaches, and it should be said that the other party was not afraid of this flame weapon at all.
Just as the cockroach took a deep breath and was about to squirt out acidic saliva again, Optimus Prime arrived from the side, popped a golden high-temperature machete out of his wrist, and slashed the cockroach in two.
"These creatures are extremely dangerous, don't go it alone!"
Optimus Prime reminds Ironhide that even for Transformers, the threat of the swarm should not be underestimated.
Iron Sheet also suffered a big loss, but he still said recklessly: "I'm just a little unlucky, wait for me to change the gun and come back!" Ambulance! ”
An ambulance from the Autobots immediately arrived at his side to treat his arm that had been corroded by the acid.
It's just that the same thing happened in various positions of the defensive line, and after the cockroaches joined, the attack of the swarm was undoubtedly more violent!
The firepower of small arms is almost useless against the heavy carapace of cockroaches, and the flame weapons that are miraculous against jumping insects are almost immune to them, and the characteristics of burying and moving make cockroaches even more elusive, and they can always suddenly break through the ground in the weakest defensive places, bringing great pressure to the ground defense forces of the wandering earth.
The acidic saliva of cockroaches is so corrosive to metal that even Transformers can't parry. Of course, this does not mean that acid has no effect on the human body, and if you are pasted by a cockroach at close range, it can make people evaporate immediately without leaving any trace.
The troops of the Wandering Earth had to retreat again, and the living tanks like cockroaches did not know how many times they had helped the Zerg to penetrate the human defense line head-on.
However, at this time, the larger war machine of the Wandering Earth finally arrived on the battlefield, and with the help of several carrier helicopters, the mecha hunters like a skyscraper were dropped into the frontal battlefield.
The guns carried by these thousands of tons of behemoths are completely battleship-level, and the shells used alone are equivalent to several times the weight of cockroaches, and when such a high-explosive ammunition goes, cockroaches are just targets in whack-a-mole games.
Even the cockroaches buried in the ground were forced to overturn by such shelling, and with the super-heavy fire support of several mecha hunters, the Wandering Earth forces once again stabilized their positions and began to counterattack the swarm.
At this time, Qiao Lu also rushed to the frontline battlefield, and he couldn't be happy when he saw the swarm that had been repelled again.
This tug-of-war has been repeated several times, and the gathering of troops on the Wandering Earth has been gradually completed, but the evolution of the Zerg still has no end in sight, and it is never known what kind of creatures it will hatch next time to attack the defense line.
We can't let the Zerg hatch more advanced creatures like this, otherwise it's really hard to say if the Wandering Earth will be able to stop their attack.
This must be over as soon as possible!
The ballistic missiles falling from the sky were all intercepted by the spore reptiles on the fungus blanket, and the air force units on the wandering earth could not get close to this powerful anti-aircraft firepower.
After the mecha hunters joined, the ground defense forces of the Wandering Earth did advance a little, but they were far from being able to quickly clear the fungus blanket, and I am afraid that soon the Zerg would hatch a group of high-level troops to press the front back, so that the tug-of-war situation would continue to be maintained.
The weather controller needs the right climatic conditions, antimatter nuclear bombs can be intercepted in the air, and the main guns on the Ark and the 10,000-year-old Blizzard are not suitable for ground bombardment······
Just when Qiao Lu was constantly thinking about what other means there were, Luo Feng's voice suddenly came from the communication channel:
"Jolu, the planetary engine fortress is ready! You guide the target! ”
At this time, Qiao Lu remembered that he was wandering on the earth, and behind them was a planetary engine towering into the sky, like a mountain.
After all the fighters are in place, this planetary engine with a height of 10,000 meters is enough to break the current situation!
"I see, the target is the enemy's hatchery, the coordinates are being uploaded."
Qiao Lu relied on the situation he had observed in the air before, uploaded the location of the Zerg hatchery one by one, and then-
"Planetary Engine Super Fortress, start!"
This is the real clarion call for a counterattack!
